Chapter 1

The Death of a Hero

"Alright class turn to page 420 in your text bo-" BANG!

The class heard a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot coming from the front desk. Mr. Rose, the teacher, told the class to stay put while he went to check out what the noise was, as soon as he left the class started joking about some guy coming in with a gun and shooting up the school and stuff like that. What the class didn't know is that they were right, and a guy WAS here with a gun. Not soon after they hear another gunshot, then an announcement came on the speaker saying that there was a "Code Red" and to lock all the doors. One of the students rushed over and locked the door and all of the windows. The school was in a bad part of town so it wasn't unusual for schools to be put on a "Code Red", but if the man was here to start a school shooting then the class did not have luck on their side. The class was the closes to the front desk, therefore they would be the most likely first victims. The students his by Mr. Rose's desk, who was most likely dead, and got close together. No one said a word.

Stig (A/N) He is the main character btw) was the first one to get to the desk, and hid inside the desk rather than outside like the other students. Stig rested his hand on the ground and touched something cold that felt like metal. He looked down and saw pistol lodged between two books. Since the neighborhood was run by gangs the gun must have been there in case something like this happened. Stig grabbed the gun and looked at it.

"If I had to would I shoot someone to save my life and everybody else's life." he thought.

Some kids were still being rushing over to the desk someone started banging on the door. Everybody froze. The door was soon kicked opened by the intruder as he raised his gun at one of the students. The kids started begging for mercy. When the man didn't reply Stig knew that the kids were going to die if he didn't do something. Stig got up with the gun still in his hand and talked the man.
Stig and the man landed on the ground causing them to get the breath knocked out of them. Then man recovered quickly and kicked Stig off of him causing Stig to hit his head against a desk.

The man then looked down at Stig and shot him in the stomach.

Stig didn't feel any pain because he was in shock. Some of the kids screamed in horror of what just happened, seeing their classmate get shot was something they would never forget.

The man turned around and raised his gun back at the students who where not by the teacher's desk, his face still emotionless. That was when Stig remembered the pistol in his hand, he then checked to see if it was loaded. "Please be loaded, please be loaded, please be loaded!" Stig thought as he franticly checked the chamber of the gun.

"Yes! It's loaded!".

Stig then raised the gun at the back of the man's head. He didn't know if he could do this despite this friends' lives being at stake. He knew that he was going to die from the wound the had, that this man has taken his life, but he still didn't know if he could do it. Stig closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger. He opened his eyes to see the lifeless body of the man that had taken his life, and probably others is Stig had not stopped him. He then started laughing. He laughed so hard that he started to cry…. then the pain hit him. It hurt like hell. His hands clutched the wound which made it hurt even more. The students rushed over to him after they got out of their shock. Some were telling him that it was going to be okay, and others were crying. Stig's vision started to get blurry as he whispered his last words.

"Thank god. Thank god I was able to go out saving all my friends."

Then all Stig saw was black.

So that was the first chapter of The Third Brother! I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and I teared up a little writing this chapter because of the school shooting. I kept on thinking of other school shootings that have made the news and just brought tears to my eyes. No one should ever die that young EVER.
